Standing 5’8 and competing at 155 and 170lbs, this is Nico BOOM BOOM Jefferson. Nico comes to us from Kankakee, Illinois and represents Genesis Martial Arts and Fitness. With a 14-5 MMA record, Nico holds four titles between lightweight and welterweight. Nico is also ranked #6 at lightweight and #4 at welterweight for amateurs in Illinois by tapology.com.

Nico is a skilled striker, with a 4-1 Muay Thai record and a 9-1 Kickboxing record, which includes second place in the WAKO Kickboxing tournament in Las Vegas. Nico got into martial arts as a workout. “It all happened by accident. I wanted to do the workouts and learn a little technique because I’ve always loved the sport. I kept returning and fell in love with it”.
